For The
Non Chemical Treatment and Conditioning of Water, Other Fluids and their
Equipments!
The Gift of Living Waters -
The Extraordinary Made Ordinary - Ecological Technologies for the
New Millennium!
We have developed a Cutting Edge Environmental Technology that employs the Laws
of Physics, to affect the chemistry of water and other fluids in such a way,
that dissolved solids in these fluids, change from a dissolved state and go into
suspension. Therefore this is a technology, whereby we can treat and condition
water, other fluids and their systems, without the use of energy or chemicals,
thereby solving a major problem related to water, while contributing to a
healthier environment.
The
technology removes all existing scale, rust and other contaminants that build-up
in pipelines, heat exchangers, cooling towers, and all other equipments that use
water, oil or gas. The applications are absolutely “NON INVASIVE” therefore the
pipelines do not require additional plumbing. Our systems require absolutely no
maintenance or power source once installed. The life span of the equipment is
unknown but, if not destroyed physically, it will last for a very long time (16
years proven so far).
Our Fuel
Enhancing MHD Series are used on diesel, petrol, gas and other fuels, to improve
their efficiency and to reduce emissions, thereby making our products very
environmentally friendly.
We also
specialize in making drinking water from almost any source, be it ground water,
rivers, rainwater, ponds, lakes or the sea. We also design and fabricate modular
units that can produce from 1,000 gallons to over 1,000,000 gallons of drinking
water per day. We can also use solar energy where conventional electric energy
is not available to operate pumps. We increase the efficiency of industrial
waste water, recycle it and help to reduce the affluent that is normally
deposited into our streams and aquifers, thereby contaminating them.

Reverse Osmosis Plant for Desalination of Sea Water
All of the
Research, Development, Manufacturing and Fabrication of the Systems are mainly
done in the United States of America and Japan. The company has systems
operating in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Japan,
China, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand,
Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, Pakistan and Qatar.
The Cutting Edge technology as
developed by Mr. Justin Sharaf, the invention is unique in the sense that in
over sixteen years of operation, we have a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SUCCESS RATE. Our
applications range from a simple home system to commercial, industrial,
residential complexes, ponds, lakes, rivers, ground water, recovery and oil and
gas exploration and refining.
The company has developed several
commercial, domestic, portable as well as permanent, WATER TREATMENT AND
CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. In conjunction with other engineering protocols, the
technology has been developed utilizing various proprietary design arrays, of
very powerful permanent magnets that are installed in the ECOBEAM XL Series of
MHD Systems.
The ECOBEAM-XL SERIES of MHD Systems
are hermetically sealed, powerful, permanent magnetic units, positioned in a
proprietary arrangement to produce a CONCENTRATED BEAM of High Gauss Magnetic
Flux.
Normally, in a Magnetic Arrangement,
the Magnetic lines of Flux travel in an elliptical path from North to South on
the Outside of the Magnet. Consequently, the Maximum Strength is at the North
and South Poles of the Magnet. The Magnetic Lines of Flux have very little
effective strength. However, in the ECOBEAM XL Series of MHD Systems, the lines
of Magnetic Flux have been forced to converge into a Magnetic Beam. The Systems
and their operation have been developed after carrying out intensive study,
research and development, by the inventor.
The “Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics Water
Treatment and Conditioning System” had been used in the USSR and Europe using
“INLINE” Electro Magnets, for more than 50 years in a very limited capacity.
Their efficacy was hardly recognized owing to the absence of certified
literature and the non-belief in an Unproven Technology. But in 1984, the United
States, because of strong ecological demands, pulled far ahead in this field by
undertaking studies and experimentation, utilizing Ceramics and other Rare Earth
Materials, to increase the power of Permanent Magnets to levels never before
reached.
In 1945, Theo Vermeiren, patented a
Magnetic Water Conditioner in Belgium, utilizing discoveries based on Faraday’s
Laws of Motion. In 1957, Vermeiren delivered a report to the Belgian Center of
Corrosion Studies and the Belgian Royal Society of Engineers in Brussels,
detailing his 12 years of research and remarkably successful experiences with
Magnetic Water Conditioners:
They removed scale and corrosion
from water heaters, boilers, cooling towers, and water pipes used for fresh or
seawater; they killed algae, and all forms of anaerobic bacteria in the water;
and while not a “water softener,” per say; they seemed to “soften” the water,
physically, not chemically, possibly due to “the resultant colloidal state of
the micro crystals of calcium, magnesium and stearates.”
Magnetism is now widely used in a
very vide variety of Medical applications ranging from laser therapy to CAT SCAN
to unclogging of arteries. Other techniques include the application of Magnetism
to enhancing health care without resorting to invasive surgery.
High Speed trains now use magnetism
to levitate their wheels from the tracks, providing a more comfortable, safer
and faster ride.
Newer Television and Computer
equipment employ magnetism to increase picture clarity. All hard discs in
Computers are an example.
Magnetism is also used on boilers,
heat exchangers, cooling towers and all water related industry and equipments to
de-scale and prevent future scaling – This de-scaling has never been
satisfactory and costs over a $100 billion to industry in recurring expenses.
The expenses increase exponentially every year, while maintenance increases, the
equipment steadily degrades and other environmental hazards increase.
Today more than two million MHD
systems have been sold world-wide for residential, commercial, industrial,
governmental and municipal use, on boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers,
laundries, irrigation systems, golf courses, photo labs, aquariums, swimming
pools, spas, fountains, Koi and other fish ponds, man-made lakes, health clubs,
hotels, private homes, farms, nurseries, oil wells, injection wells, power
stations, refineries, factories, bottling plants, etc.
The primary product of
ECOTECH is technically called the ECOBEAM XL SERIES
OF MHD PRODUCTS.
The ECOBEAM
XL SERIES OF MHD PRODUCTS, works on the Principles of Physics, whereby
Ultrasonic Frequencies created through Electrostatic Resonance Charges, Induced
by Variable Magnetic Fields, produce Ion Changes in Water Chemistry.
By installing the ECOBEAM XL Systems
on the outside of a pipe which carries a conductive flow, a force is created
through the walls of the pipe, through the existing scale build up within the
pipes, that acts on the moving charged particles in the fluid, to separate the
negatively and positively charged particles, polarizing them.
For particle separation to occur,
among other requirements, the velocities of fluids should not be less than .5
fps or greater than 20 fps. The kinetic energy of the water is an essential
element of this phenomenon.
The Magnetism used to manufacture
the systems is of a patented design. High Gauss magnets, of various magnetic
levels, are used in the production of each ECOBEAM XL module.
The high levels of induction and
variance of each ECOBEAM XL module, create high ultrasonic frequencies, which in
turn produce ion exchange in water and fluids.
During the ion exchange process,
scale-forming chemicals such as calcium carbonate, magnesium, iron hydroxide and
iron oxide, lose their “Zeta Potential Bond” and are released as a colloidal
suspension in the flow stream.
During the physical ion exchange
process a hydrogen atom is released from the water molecule (H2O becomes HO) and
this hydrogen atom plates out on the adjacent surfaces of the pipes and the
equipments.
In addition, as the hydrogen atom is
separated from the flowing water, there is an imbalance in the dissolved oxygen
in the water. This imbalance of the oxygen helps to kill the anaerobic algae,
the anaerobic bacteria and to oxidize foul odors.
APPLICATION OF THE ECOBEAM XL SERIES
The ECOBEAM XL is produced through a
combination of powerful permanent magnetic units, made from rare earth,
metallic, trivalent elements. An array of units, from two on up, depending on
the outer diameter of the pipe and other protocols, is applied to the pipes
carrying water or other fluids – utilizing technology based on THE SCIENCE OF
MAGNETO HYDRO-DYNAMICS. This magnetic water/ fluids conditioning, without the
use of chemicals or any form of energy, is effective in preventing scale, rust
and corrosion, while effectively removing the same from pipes and equipments.
The Focused Magnetic Flux, follows Laws of Physics that will realign the
molecular flow of fluids in circulating and flowing water/fluids systems,
combustion engines, oil well production and piping.
Circulating Water Systems.
(Cooling Towers, Boilers, Heat Exchangers, Chillers and Evaporative Condensers,
as well as Main Water Lines), the ECOBEAM XL has the ability to remove scale,
rust and corrosion buildup. Once the sludge is removed, the ECOBEAM XL will
inhibit the reformation of the same, keeping the pipes clean and free flowing.
Economic advantages are countless, as are compliance’s to the ever-changing
strict rules and regulations being issued by the Environmental Protection
Agency.
Combination Engine
The application of the ECOBEAM XL F1
(Fuel Enhancer Unit) on the fuel line of the internal combustion engine improves
combustion. It causes the realignment of the molecular flow of fuel, resulting
in a better ratio of fuel/air mixture. The results are reduced fuel
consumption, cleaner emissions, cleaner spark plugs and fuel injectors.
Different engines using different fuels, determine the applications of the
ECOBEAM XL F1 MHD Systems at different locations.
REFINERIES
Oil industry
This is a very interesting subject
for the application of the ECOBEAM XL SERIES. However, it is impossible to
address even a miniscule part of it in this paper. Consequently, the
applications of the ECOBEAM XL SERIES are discussed in very rudimentary terms
here. Detailed applications will be addressed at each individual site. Oil is
drilled from deep within the earth. Oil does not come to the surface as a
finished product. It comes up as a mixture of crude, water, slush and all kinds
of earth sand and stones. There are several problems along the way that the ECOBEAM XL SERIES can assist with.
First, at the point of drilling,
deep under the ground, Water Cooled Hydraulic Brakes are used. Water is pumped
at high pressure down thousands of feet underground to the Hydraulic Braking
System. This is a continuous process requiring thousands of gallons of
re-circulating water. Since at the Hydraulic Braking Assembly, there is a great
amount of Heat Exchange, the inevitable scale build up occurs, both in the
pipelines and at the Hydraulic Braking Heat Exchange Apparatus. This causes the
heat exchange to become inefficient and thus, ever so often, the whole system
has to be shut down for physical cleaning and maintenance. This is not only loss
in Revenue, but also maintenance intensive. The application of Strategically
installed ECOBEAM XL SYSTEMS, can greatly enhance the efficient operating of the
Drilling equipment and depending on the condition of the fresh water, can either
completely eradicate the problem, or at least bring it to
controllable levels. The application of the ECOBEAM XL SYSTEMS is finalized
after evaluating each individual situation.
After the crude oil has been pumped
up out of the ground, it is then piped to locations where it can be stored
before being processed. The 'crude oil' is hot
when it leaves the ground, but rapidly cools as it migrates through the
pipelines to the storage tanks. The moisture in the 'crude' mixes with the
accompanying sludge and plates out inside the pipes like hard scale. Inside the
'Crude Oil,' paraffin tends to cool much more rapidly and then begins to plate
out inside the pipelines too. This combined scale formation and the plating out
of the paraffin, rapidly constricts the inner diameter of the pipelines. This
causes many problems and requires constant maintenance.
The application of the ECOBEAM XL
SERIES of our MHD SYSTEMS, will enhance the efficient flow of the crude and
completely eliminate, or greatly reduce, the buildup of scale and constrictions
in the pipelines. When oil or 'crude oil' has to be transported over long
distances, the biggest problem facing the oil companies is the unmitigated
deposits of scale and paraffin on the inside of the pipelines. The strategic
application of the ECOBEAM XL SYSTEMS along the pipelines inhibits the buildup
of the same. In most cases, the existing buildup is eventually removed, all
without the use of extra maintenance, chemicals or energy. This leads to
enhanced efficiency and tremendous financial benefits.

Oil Refinery
Heat Pumps and Water Cooled
Compressors:
Water-Cooled Heat Pumps, Engines and
Compressors are subject to rapid scaling, owing to the constant flow of fresh
water and the intense heat exchange. In addition to regular Chemical Treatment,
every 6-8 weeks a pitter must be used to remove the hard ceramic-like scale that
has accumulated within the pipes as well as in the body jacket of the engines.
This buildup of scale directly affects the flow of the cooling water, and as the
build up increases, the 'Heat Transfer' from the engine to the Cooling System
also reduces, thereby affecting the temperature of the Engines and the Heat
pumps. This factor alone is a major concern for water-cooled Engines on Boats
and Ships and Water Cooled Compressors.
Within a few weeks, following the
installation of the ECOBEAM XL System on the water lines of the equipment, the
scale turns into a powder-like wet sludge substance, which is easily removed at
the 'Blow Down' or 'Bleed Off Point'. Eventually, the water jacket will be freed
of accumulated residue and will remain clean, as long as the ECOBEAM XL SYSTEMS
remain installed. There is no requirement for the use of Chemicals at this
point. However, as with every application, an ECOTECH trained person must
evaluate each situation on its own merits, before actual installation.
Heat Exchangers:
Scale accumulates inside the shell
of the water tubes, reducing the flow of water so essential to the transfer of
heat from one fluid to anther. 0ver time, the inner diameter of the tubes
reduces and in most cases, completely blocks up. This seriously degrades the
Heat Exchange Mechanism and affects the entire apparatus the heat exchanger is
designed to serve. The effected systems then have to be shut down for intensive
maintenance. A core drill or high-pressure water jets, along with chemicals are
needed to clean the tubes.
Following
core drilling, and after the heat exchanger is on line, the ECOBEAM XL System
should be installed on the fresh water input lines. Owing to the action of the
ECOBEAM XL, all tubes will remain open and new scale will be prevented from
forming. In cases where minor scaling has already begun, the ECOBEAM XL System
will gradually clean out the scale that has already deposited and will prevent
new scale from depositing. However, it will not clean out tubes that are so
badly clogged, that water cannot flow through them. The flow of the water across
the BEAMED Magnetic Flux is essential.
Sour Water Lines:
The mixture of oil and water builds
scale and paraffin in the pipes. The ECOBEAM XL SYSTEM will place the paraffin
into suspension, remove scale buildup, and prevent calcites and rust from
adhering to the pipes. Depending on the chemical composition of the migrating
water, additional softeners may not be required. The ECOBEAM XL SYSTEM reduces
and may eventually even eliminate the need for chemicals. (This depends on a
number of external factors, which can be addressed on an individual basis,)
Water Scrubbers:
Water used
to “wet scrub” solids in exhaust stacks, often leaves scale buildup inside the
pipelines and on the blades of the fans used to pull the water through the
scrubber. The ECOBEAM XL treatment of water aids the scrubbing action. The
treated water also inhibits scale buildup in the pipes, on fan blades and
housings, assists in enhancing the whole system and improves overall
performance.
Cracking Towers:
Fuel for the cracking tower is a
combination of crude oil and natural gas. Since water is part of the fluid
flowing into the tower, scale will form. Crude oil input at various temperatures
will form paraffin. The ECOBEAM XL SYSTEM will alleviate existing scale and
then prevent it from reforming. Prior detailed inspection of each site is
required, before a plan can be implemented to treat problem areas.
Cooling Towers:
This is perhaps the single most
ignored area in the seriousness of water treatment. Cooling Towers are used in
ALL applications of water or fluid based Heat Exchange systems. Industries that
value in the Trillions of Dollars, regard the Heating and Cooling Systems as
just another function of their overall operations. What Senior Management has
seldom thought about is the crucial role of the Cooling Towers.
It is
generally felt that, with the delegation of authority to the Facilities Branch
of the Establishment, the Systems will run perfectly. Since the Facilities are
not the most “Cosmetic” of places, attention is seldom paid to their problems.
It is therefore to the credit of the Director of Facilities and His/ Her staff,
that even under the most trying conditions; they manage to keep the Systems up
and running.
However,
problems ignored are not problems solved. They will ultimately lead to major
repairs or replacements, which are not only expensive, but cause the
establishments to impose “Shut Downs.” This is a great loss in terms of revenue,
because, while production stops, salaries and other expenditures still have to
be met. It is amazing to note that, while continuous treatment of
the process water is done with Chemicals, problems still arise and systems have
to be shut down. If the continuous Chemical Treatment of Water does not solve a
problem, is it not logical to look at better alternatives?
The sad truth is that while in every
avenue of life, Science has made astounding advances, in the case of water
treatment; in the FACILITIES DEPARTMENT, the establishment has resigned itself
to the “Status Quo.” This is causing the water to remain contaminated, with more
and more chemicals added every day, making an already bad situation, worse.
Cooling
Towers must be treated both at the Cooling Tower and at the Condenser side of
the Chillers. The final determination is made after the physical inspection of
each Cooling Tower and the affiliated data. But in all cases, it is imperative
to treat both the re-circulating water as well as the fresh makeup water lines
with the ECOBEAM XL SYSTEM. Depending on the condition of the source water,
these applications will reduce and may eventually stop all need for chemicals.
After 2-3 weeks, a sharp increase in TDS (totally dissolved solids) is to be expected, due to the cleaning
action of the pipes and the condenser by the ECOBEAM XL System. However, in
according with the manufacturers recommendations on maintenance, the Cooling
Towers must be cleaned and drained so as to remove solids from the sumps. If
this is not done as recommended, migrating debris will go back into the
condenser where the water turbulence and heat exchange is at its highest and
cause serious problems there. In most cases allow 90 to 120 days for total
cleaning with the application of the ECOBEAM XL MHD systems installed.

Cooling
Towers
Boilers:
Boilers undergo extreme changes in
water temperatures. Cold incoming water is brought to a boil or even converted
to steam very rapidly. This cycle is maintained twenty-four hours a day for
months on end. This continuous action causes both suspended and dissolved solids
in the water to plate out inside boiler tubes and pipes. The addition of
Chemicals aggravates the problem, because Chemicals react differently with
different substances in the water as well as with the metallurgical content of
the pipes, setting off chain reactions before vaporizing. Then the vapors
migrate with the water and steam. Consequently, while at one stage of the cycle,
the water may be rendered acceptable for boiler use, down the pipelines, the
vaporized Chemicals migrating with the turbulent boiling water and the steam,
begin to react with other metals and substances inside the flow paths, which are
also experiencing fluctuating temperatures.
Thus begins another Chemical chain
reaction, often leading to corrosion inside the heat exchangers and pipelines,
especially the elbows, joints, distribution points, Condensate return paths,
Condensate and holding tanks. The addition of Fresh make up water only brings in
more additives with it to further aggravate the problem. Consequently, while a
chemical may solve an immediate problem at the source, it causes multifarious
problems down the line and in pipes far from the boilers. The big question every
Boiler owner or operator should ask is:
"If the Chemicals did their job, then
why do we have calcium and other build-ups in our boilers?" And, "why is there
corrosion inside our pipelines where only steam is passing?" Obviously, CHEMICALS
have serious shortcomings!
We always recommend, that in the case
of Boilers, we must take a very serious look at the composition of the incoming
water and take steps to reduce as many Suspended and Dissolved Solids from the
water before it goes into the Boilers. Our ECOBEAM XL SYSTEMS will play a
crucial role in this effort. After this has been done, it is recommended to
treat all of the circulating water systems, condensate return and fresh-water
makeup lines, with the ECOBEAM XL SYSTEM. Depending on the composition of the
source water, the use of all chemicals will be eliminated, or at least
dramatically reduced.
Oil Lines:
The ECOBEAM XL SERIES of MHD units
should be used to control paraffin, salt, and scale in oil lines. But this
undertaking should only be attempted after consultation with a representative of
ECOTECH and after the necessary Test Protocols have been carefully conducted and
examined. The Magneto-Hydrodynamic Technology Treatment, if applied correctly,
will greatly enhance the flow of the oil and will hold most dissolved and
suspended solids in suspension.
OIL FIELD
APPLICATIONS
Steam Compressors:
The application of the ECOBEAM XL
SYSTEMS on water lines to the compressor, and, to and from the Cooling Towers
will not only prevent scale buildup in the compressors and piping, but will
also gradually remove all existing scale already deposited in them. This having
been done, there will be no more need for a water softener or chemicals to
control scale and corrosion.
Water Injection:
An EOR, (Enhanced Oil Recovery) a
typical system includes: a pump (to force water into the oil well), a tank
(Q-cell) (to add coagulant for oil separation), and a diatomaceous earth
filter. The installation of the ECOBEAM XL SYSTEMS should be at carefully
selected locations to treat oil and water going to the tanks, to treat the
Q-cell-ahead of D.E. filters, and the water before re-entry into the ground.
This application will help control H2S, salt and scale deposits, and decrease
turbidity after the filters.
Oil Pipe Lines:
The installation of the ECOBEAM XL
SYSTEMS at carefully selected locations will assist in preventing paraffin,
salt, and scale buildup in the lines. Depending on the composition of the oil,
the need for chemicals will be dramatically reduced or may even be eliminated.
Paraffin is non polar, a totally saturated hydrocarbon. As the molecular weight
of the fuel oil increases, the melting point of paraffin increases. Water and
hydrocarbons will not mix. It should be understood that there is 60 to 94 %
water, along with oil, in most oil producing wells.

Salt Water
The Installation of the ECOBEAM XL
SYSTEMS will prevent scale and corrosion buildup in the salt water lines, engines
cooling jackets and heat exchangers etc.
ECOBEAM XL SYSTEMS are designed to
substantially reduce or eliminate paraffin, scale, asphalting, and many other
forms of contaminations from plating out in the pipes and equipment.
PARAFFIN AND THE EFFECTIVE USE OF
THE ECOBEAM XL MHD SYSTEMS
THE APPLICATION
Considerer Paraffin and Scale: THE
ECOBEAM XL MHD SYSTEMS, (including an electromotive force caused by the tools
used) act as a catalyst for the precipitation of ions within the oil flow,
causing irregular crystal structure formation, close to a submicroscopic level.
The minute crystal particles all remain in suspension; they will not form into a
larger solid mass. All remaining fluid is more solvent than that of normal
fluid composition from the well.
Asphaltenes, which are not actually
crystals, normally form as a conglomeration of charge fed particles, there are
attracted, unlike charged molecules. EMF technology affects the surface charges
on these groups of molecules, polarizing them, so that they are like-charged and
resistant, rather than attracted to each other.
The concept
that an EMF will interact with crystallization nuclei, explains most of the
phenomenon observed in crude oil with water. Many samples of crude oil, before
and after an EMF treatment, show significant changes in viscosity, cloud and
pour points and temperature deposition of paraffin.
ECOTECH utilizes the highest quality
of materials, which have a very high “intrinsic coercive force”, or resistance
to demagnetization forces. Most external influences have virtually no
degaussing effect on the EMF system. Consistency of the paraffin in a well,
changes from a solid to very light paraffin, which sloughs off with a forced
fluid. Prior to the EMF exposure, the precipitate of calcium carbonate
contained calcite and aragonite in about a 4:1 ratio. Following installation of
an EMF system, the ratio is about 1:4. It is one of the fundamental laws of
physics, that the motion of a conductor through a magnetic field (EMF) will
cause a voltage to be produced.
GROUND WATER RECOVERY
APPLICATION
ECOTECH ventured to apply its Cutting Edge technology, when the discovery of oil
leakage into ground began to cause very serious problems. Oil and Chemical
leakage from Oil storage and oil and chemical wash facilities seriously
contaminate the ground water. It is then required by law, that the owner/operator of the facility recover the Ground water. This involves the pumping up
of the water, remediation and injection back into the ground. This process
caused serious calcification and deposits of other contaminants in the piping
systems, holding tanks and at the stripping towers. The application of the ECOBEAM XL SYSTEMS, obviate most of the problems and assist in the overall
efficiency of the process. The potential opportunity is at fuel and oil storage
facilities and at gasoline station sites. When it has been determined that the
ground water (aquifer) has been contaminated by leakage from above, or around
underground storage tanks (UST) the water must be clarified before i
